LIAM Payne’s ex Maya Henry’s book features a shock scene where a popstar jumps over a balcony in a tragic coincidence.
Tragic Liam Payne died instantly from multiple injuries including a fractured skull after plunging from a third-floor hotel balcony.
Emergency services rushed to the scene at the Casa Sur in Buenos Aires on Wednesday evening but the 31-year-old was declared dead.
When contacted by DailyMail.com, a representative for Liam’s ex Maya, 23, said, “She is understandably in shock.”
The pair had an on-off, three-year relationship, which was said to have ended for good in May 2022.
And this year Maya published a book named Look Forward which details the relationship between model Mallory and Oliver.
Oliver is a member of a boyband named 5Forward, and the book is described by Maya as ‘fiction inspired by true events.’
Fans have been quick to point out the similarities between her relationship with Liam, and the book.
And in one heartbreaking scene, Mallory confronts Oliver on the balcony of his London flat, as he threatens to jump.
The excerpt reads: “‘Oliver’, I say, ‘Please come back inside..’
“‘Go away, Mal!’, he barks. ‘I’m going to die, so get the f*** out of here.’
“‘Just come in for a second, ‘I say, fighting to keep my voice calm. ‘I mean. What are you doing out there anyway?’
“‘What the f*** do you think I’m doing?’, he bellows, loud enough for half the town to hear. ‘I’m going to f****** kill myself ok! I want to die!'”
Just two days before the incident, Maya had instructed her legal team to send a cease and desist letter to the pop star, accusing him of repeatedly contacting her and her loved ones.

IT was a romance that caused a media storm.
One Direction hunk Liam Payne was only 14 when he met former X Factor judge Cheryl during the show in 2008.
But it wasn’t until 2016 – when the Girls Aloud singer was divorcing her second husband – that the pair got together despite their ten-year age gap.
The couple made their relationship official in May of that year when they appeared at Eva Longoria’s Global Gift Gala in Paris.
In 2017, Liam paid a sweet tribute to his girlfriend by getting a tattoo of her eye on his arm.
Cheryl was pregnant at the time and gave birth to a boy on March 22, 2017.
She posted a picture on Instagram of Liam cradling their 7lb 9oz baby captioned: “On Wednesday Liam and I became parents to an incredibly beautiful, healthy baby boy looking like a dream.”
One pal told The Sun: “Liam didn’t leave Cheryl’s side throughout the birth, and like her, he is besotted with their new son and can’t wait to take him home.
“This is the perfect Mother’s Day for Cheryl.”
The Sun revealed in May 2017 that the couple named their son Bear.
They decided on the unusual name after spending a week getting to know him.
In February 2018, The Sun broke the news that Liam’s constant travelling to promote his solo career had placed a huge strain on the relationship, and the pair were ready to split.
That same month, Cheryl said “none of it matters” as she shrugged off questions about her crumbling romance with Liam during a BBC Breakfast interview.
They then put on a united front together at the Brit Awards where they smiled on the red carpet and Cheryl joked about the couple’s ‘safe word’.
However, by July 2018, Cheryl and Liam made the decision to split.
A pal told The Sun: “Cheryl and Liam worked really hard on their relationship – they had troubles earlier this year and were able to get through them.
“But they’re in different stages of their lives and, after a lot of careful thought, came to a decision that it’s best for everyone if they do go their separate ways.”
Liam and Cheryl released a statement confirming their break-up which read: “We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It’s been a tough decision for us to make.
“We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.”
In a statement to The Sun issued earlier this week prior to Liam’s death, a spokesperson said: “Maya Henry issued a cease and desist last week to Liam Payne following the emergence of new and concerning information.
“She has retained attorneys Marco Crawford and Daniel Cerna to represent her. At this time, that is her only comment on the matter.”
Speaking on TikTok before the tragedy, Maya had claimed: “Ever since we broke up he will blow up my phone.
“It’s always from different phone numbers too so I never know where it is going to come from.
“He will create new icloud accounts to iMessage me. It’s always a damn new iCloud account. Each time I see a new one pop up on my phone I’m like ‘oh here we go again’.
“He will also email me.”
She later added: “There is no right and wrong time to speak out on these topics.
“It’s disturbing that this man is still doing these things to me.
“I am disgusted by this diabolical behaviour. This is beyond disgusting and flabbergasting to say the least.”
The pop star was in Buenos Aires for pal Niall Horan’s tour when he tragically plunged from the third floor on Thursday afternoon.
Liam was staying at Hotel CasaSur in the neighbourhood of Palermo.
